PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION

For this new dition the Dietionary has been thoroughly revised with the
aid of ail available new vocabularies. Many terms and meanings hve been
added from chemistry and related sciences and from industry. The vocabulary has grown from 35,000 terms to an estimated 42,000, in spite of the fact
that many terms having the same spelling and meaning in French and English
hve been omitted in order to save space. The chemical nomenclature has
been revised to accord with the most rcent dcisions.
Among the technical vocabularies consulted for this dition are: Cooper,
Concise International Dietionary of Mechanics and Geology; Cornubert,
Dictionnaire Anglais-Franais-Allemand (Physique et Chimie) ; Cornubert,
Dictionnaire Chimique Anglais-Franais; Cusset, Vocabulaire Technique
Anglais-Franais et Franais-Anglais; Davies, A French-English Vocabulary
in Geology and Physical Geograyhy ; DeVries, French-English Science Dietionary, second dition; Duval, Duval and Dolique, Dictionnaire de la
Chimie et de ses Applications (ail French) ; Hoyer-Kreuter-Schlomann, Dictionnaire Technologique, sixth dition; Institut Technique du Btiment et
des Travaux Publics, Lexique Technique Franais-Anglais et Anglais-Franais; Kettridge, Dictionnaire Franais-Anglais, Anglais-Franais; Langford,
Dictionnaire Technique et Commercial; Lycett, Dictionnaire Technique de
l'Aviation; Partridge, Dietionary of Biological Equivalents; Persch, Erdlwrterbuch, Franzsisch-Deutsch-Englisch-Spanisch; Thompson-Haim, Dictionnaire de la Soudure; Veillon, Dictionnaire Mdical; Ziloff, Dictionnaire
Technique des Termes du Ptrole (Groupe Franais du Conseil de Contrle
Alli en Allemagne), second dition.
I am also indebted to Mr. Lewis Bertrand for a list of terms not in the
first dition, and to Miss Janet D. Scott for the use of her table of inorganic
anions (Chem. Abstracts 39, 5957-60 (1945)).

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION

The prsent work is the response to a demand (not at ail anticipated) for a
French companion to the author's German-English Dictionary for Chemists.
It follows the plan of the earlier book, which seems to hve met with gnerai
favor.
Professor F. W. Tanner of the University of Illinois has read the galley
proofs and added a number of biological terms, and Professor Frank Vogel of
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has read the page proofs and the
manuscript of the Introduction and has also contributed the gnerai statement prefacing the "Conjugation of French Verbs." The author is likewise
under obligation to Professor C. W. Foulk, Mr. E. J. Crne and Dr. Maurice
L. Doit, and to numerous other friends who hve given opinions or answered queries.
Rfrence works chiefly consulted: General, Clifton-Grimaux-McLaughlin,
French-English Dictionary; the Larousse dictionaries, especially the latest,
"Larousse pour tous." Technical, Rpertoire technologique des noms d'industries et de professions (by French Government officiais) ; Willcox, FrenchEnglish Military Technical Dictionary; De Mric, Dictionnaire des termes
de mdecine. The material has been rather scattered, consequently a large
proportion has been obtained by the reading of books, catalogs and journals.
A really good dictionary is a growth. No one can realize as well as the
author how incomplte the vocabulary of this one still is. The very helpful
correspondence regarding errors and omissions in the German-English dictionary leads to the hope that readers will go to the same trouble in this case.

INTRODUCTION
Thanks to the many words which French and English hve in common
and to the clarity of French expression, the beginner usually finds it easier
to learn to read French than German, espeoially if he has studied Latin.
Separable prfixes, involved sentence order and a certain well-known "longwordformingtendency" are not there to trouble him. Nevertheless there are
pitfalls, such as the numerous idiomatic phrases, the irregular verb forms
and the words which, though posing as old friends, do not mean just what
they ought to! Thse matters the author has tried to keep in mind in the
prparation of the dictionary. The following notes may be of assistance in
the use of the vocabulary.
Phrases. A large number of phrases has been included. As a rule, a
phrase is entered under the first important word which occurs in it, prpositions, conjunctions and articles being passed by (en dtail under dtail, tout
d'un coup under tout, etc.).
Labels. Labels such as Anat., Elec. and Soap are freely used to indicate
in what connection a word has a given meaning. Without such labels some
meanings would hardly be intelligible. (For label abbreviations see the table
on pages ix and x.)
Verbs. Irregular verb forms which are likely to appear in scientific literature are givn where they are most needed, Le., in the vocabulary under their
own spellings, and not safely concealed under the parent verb.
General Words. A gnerai vocabulary fuller than that of many pocket
dictionaries is included with the technical words. The spcial chemical
meaning of a gnerai word is ordinarily placed first.
Words Common to French and English. In the first dition many words
of the same spelling and meaning in the two languages were included. In
this dition such words hve been omitted to make space for new terms, except (1) if the word is followed by one or more phrases, and (2) if the word
has an ending which might be translated in two ways. This is especially true
of names of chemical compounds ending in -ine, which is translated into
English as -ine if the substance is basic, otherwise as -in [cf. rule (4) on
page xiv]. Manifestly, the names of compounds which are entered are only
a slection from among those which might hve been included.
Derived Words. As a space-saving device the meanings of many worda
are merely indicated, rfrence being made to another word which is fully

xii

INTRODUCTION

defined. For example, several senss of the verb brasser (to stir) are given.
A listing of ail the corresponding meanings of the noua brassage is avoided
by using for the latter word the forai "stirring, etc. (see brasser)." Participles and participial adjectives are often treated in the same way.
Fminine Forms. Thse are not given except in spcial cases. The usual
sign of the fminine is the letter e; thus, gris (gray) becomes grise in the
fminine singular, while neutre (neutral) which ends in e in the masculine
form remains unchanged in the fminine. The following irregularities should
be noted:
-ve (fem.) corresponding to -f (masc.) ; as, actif, active.
-se
"
" -x; as, nitreux, nitreuse.
-se
"
" -r; as, trompeur, trompeuse.
-che
"
" - c ; as, blanc, blanche.
-que
"
" -c; as, turc, turque.
-gue
"
" -g; as, long, longue.
-trice
"
" -teur; as, indicateur, indicatrice.
Doubling of the final consonant; as, gros, grosse.
Plural Forms. The regular formation of the plural is by addition of s to
the singular. Departures from this rule are:
-aux (pi.) corresponding to -al, -ail or -au (sing.) ; as, gal, gaux.
-eaux
"
" -eau; as, nouveau, nouveaux.
-eux
"
" -eu; as, jeu, jeux.
-oux
"
" -ou; as, caillou, cailloux.
Nouns ending in -s, -x and -z and masculine adjectives ending in -s and -x
in the singular are unchanged in the plural.
Nouns Used as Adjectives. French differs from English in its adjectival
use of nouns. In some instances the use is the same; as, odeur ther, ether
odor; solution lilas, lilac solution. For the most part, however, French nouns
used as adjectives might be construed as in apposition; as, chimiste ingnieur,
chemical engineer; tube sparateur, separating tube. On the other hand, such
English expressions as "sodium chloride" (chlorure de sodium) and "gun
steel" (acier canon) require the use of a prposition when rendered into
French.
Inorganic Nomenclature. Most inorganic names are readily translated
from French into English as soon as one learns that -ure corresponds to the
English -4de; -ique to ic; and -eux (fem. -euse) to -ous.
Names of hydracids difer in construction from the English names; as,
chlorhydrique, hydrochloric.

INTRODUCTION

xiii

Names of salts containing the prposition de ghould not invariably be

translated by using "of." For example, while actate de cuivre is correctly
translated "actate of copper," the form "copper actate" is more frquent.
Apparently, the older fashion of naming salts from the bases instead of the
metals (as carbonate de soude, carbonate of soda) is more persistent in French
than in English, hence in many cases it would be well to use the modem
form (in this case, sodium carbonate) in translating them.
Organic Nomenclature. The use of adjectives in French organic names,
instead of a combining form as in English and German, may be noted; thus
the compound C6H4CI2 (dichlorobenzene) is often called benzne (or benzine) dichlor, although dichlorobenzene and even the Germanism dichlorbenzol also occur.
Names of esters are found in which the name of the alcohol radical is prefixed to the name of the acid; as, ther amylac tique. This should be rendered "amyl actate" rather than "amylacetic ester" or "amylacetic ether" if
the compound CH3CO2C5H11 is meant, and other cases should be treated
similarly.
Words ending in -ique are used in a gnerai descriptive sens more frequently than the corresponding English words in -ic; berbrinique, for instance, would be properly translated "berberinic" if designating an acid, but
it often means simply "of berberine" or "berberine"; as, sels berbriniques,
berberine salts.
German names ending in -insure may usually be translated into French
and English in two ways, that is, as acide -inique (-inic acid) or as acide -ique
(-ic acid) ; and it sometimes happens that the one alternative is chosen in
French, the other in English. For example, the compound named Levulinsaure is usually called levulinic acid in English while in French the form
acide lvulique seems to be the more common. Such diffrences are not
numerous.
In order to hve names which are in accord with the usage of the American
Chemical Society as embodied in the "Directions to Abstractors" the following rules (which also harmonize well with the best usage in Great Britain)
should be observed. They are not necessarily to be applied to names of
pharmaceuticals and dyes, and possibly some exceptions should be allowed
for commercial use only, as glycerm instead of glyceroi. Diffrences between
trade and scientific usage are always to be regretted.
(1) Translate oxy- by hydroxy- when it dsigntes hydroxyl, as is commonly the case in organic names. When oxy- dsigntes the ketonic group
(CO) it is preferably translated oxo- or keto-.
(2) Translate names of compounds the chief function of which is alcoholic

xiv

INTRODUCTION

or phenolic so that the name ends in -ol; as, glycerol, resorcinol, mannitol,
pinacol (not pinacone).
(3) When the French ending -ol does not indicate hydroxyl it should be
translated -oie (as, anisole, indole), or in the case of a few hydrocarbons -ene
(as benzol, benzne; toluol, tolune; styrol, styrne).
(4) The ending -ine or -in should be translated -ine in the case of basic
substances and -in elsewhere; as, aniline, glycine, palmitin, albumin. Exceptions are benzine (meaning benzne) and the names of alcohols and phnols
(see (2)).
(5) The form amido- should be so translated only when it dnotes combination with an acid group. Usually it is to be translated amino-; as, acide
amidopropionique, aminopropionic acid; amidophnol, aminophenol. The
same holds for imido-, anilido-, etc.
(6) In such combining forms as bromo-, cyano-, chloro-, nitro-, etc., when
they dnote substituting radicals, the connective o is to be used invariably;
as chlorobenzne or chlorbenzne, chlorobenzene ; acide chloractique, chloroacetic acid. Concurrence of consonants, as in bromphenol and acetphenetidine, are especially to be avoided by use of the connective o (bromophenol,
acetophenetidine).
(7) The French ending -ane should be translated -ane if it is in the name
of a hydrocarbon (or parent heterocyclic compound) which is jully saturated; otherwise, -an. Examples: mthane, menthane, tolan, furan, pentosan.
(8) Names of acids ending in -carbonique are translated -carboxylic, not
-carbonic.
(9) In French names of natural glycosides the original ending -ine has
often been replaced by -oside, where the ending -in has been retained in
English. Examples are: amygdaline or amygdaloe.de, amygdalin; salicine
or salicoside, salicin.
(10) The names of radicals which in English end in '-yl hve two forms
in French, -yl when used as prfixes and -yle when used as nouns. For example, thylpentane, but le radical thyle. The -yle form is the one entered
in this Dictionary. Both forms are of course translated -yl in English.
According to a rcent international dcision, the trivial names of radicals of
carboxylic acids should end in -oyl; as, maleoyl (not maleyl), stearoyl (not
stearyl). The following exceptions are conceded to usage: acetyl, butyryl,
fortnyl, glutaryl, isobutyryl, isovaleryl, malonyl, oxalyl, propionyl, succinyl,
and valeryl.
Pharmaceutical Names. The years hve brought great changes in the
pharmacopeias, many drugs having been discarded as no longer useful.
However, the old names hve been retained because of the older literature.
Those which are very old are usually marked Old Pharm. or Obs.
